What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Guys you should update your opening hours! We came there during opening hours and it was closed. We wasted a lot of time on this, sadly. This is what you have Google maps profile for. Looked like a nice area though."
"Good place but Liam the employee is rude and condescending. All other people are very nice. But Liam goes out of his way to rush and talk down to you"
"The latte here is way 🥵 too hot and no foaming on top at all. They do not clean there tools to make coffee thoroughly enough as well. The breakfast sandwich came out 20min after ordering which is insane as there is no line but waiting… I do understand here might be a student-run cafe, but the quality of service need to be improved, otherwise it’s just like a “kindergarten” cafeteria for future “bartenders”."
"Novick's cafe has a very cozy yet refined vibe. I feel like I've been transported from Cornell to somewhere in a big city. As a student, it's a perfect location to grab a quick coffee/snack when leaving your dorm to go to class. Or it's also a wonderful study space (outlets on the second floor)."
"First cafe that offers espresso near Hasbrouck Apartments. Newly opened, has a great service. Apart from drinks, cakes, pastries and sandwichs are available. Esspresso is always 2 shots so don't order two shots."
"Sometimes, I don't crave a traditionally high-quality, earthy, and slightly bitter iced matcha latte. There are days when I crave a sweeter iced matcha..."
